Of course, in order to prevent Selena from being accused of being unfilial, Osvaldo kept everything very secret.
He was originally worried that Selena would be angry, but seeing her attitude towards the Riddle family, she might have gone to step on them herself if it weren't for Hattie.
Leia felt relieved and went out to pass on the message.
Selena's voice came from behind her, "Tell the people protecting Hattie to keep an extra eye on her for the next two days. "
From within the Riddle's building, a heavy atmosphere pervaded the air.
Leon had been in meetings for three days straight and had finally managed to acquire some of the core industries that Manny had tried to take away.
He had a moment of respite and threw the documents on the table, scanning the room and frowning, "Where's Hattie?"
Hattie had been sticking to him like glue lately, and her absence made Leon uneasy.
His assistant said, "Miss Hattie just went out, but she said she'll be back soon."
Leon thought for a moment and instructed his assistant, "Keep an eye on Miss Hattie for the next few days, don't let her wander around, especially not outside the Riddle's building."
The assistant was surprised, but then remembered that tomorrow was the day of the board of directors meeting. Leon was clearly trying to protect Hattie, so she immediately called the front desk to give instructions.
If Hattie tried to leave the Riddle's building, they were to stop her.
After putting down the phone, the assistant looked at Leon, who appeared tired, and hesitated before speaking, "Young master..."
Leon picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip, "What is it?"
The assistant tentatively suggested, "Given the current situation... why don't we try to cooperate with Miss Selena?"
"No matter what, she's still a member of the Riddle family, and she cares about Miss Hattie too. She also has a common enemy with you..."
If Selena was willing to lend a hand, the current predicament of the Riddle family could be resolved easily.
Leon held his coffee cup and his face remained calm, "Don't mention this again in the future."
The assistant wanted to continue persuading him, but then saw Leon glance towards the door, "Otherwise, young miss will be the first to object."
According to the way the Riddle elders treated Nevaeh and Selena, Selena not taking the opportunity to step on the Riddle family was already considering Hattie.
Compared to the Soo family and the Shaw family, at least the Riddle family was only severely wounded, and with proper management, there was still a chance to recover.
Following Leon's gaze, the assistant saw Hattie standing at the door, looking cold and expressionless. She didn't know how long she had been standing there.
Meeting the assistant's embarrassed gaze, Hattie walked in and raised her chin, asking seriously, "Why does Selena want to help the Riddle family?"
"Does she owe anything to the Riddle family? Or has anyone from the Riddle family ever helped her or shown her any kindness?"
The assistant had no answer.
It was well known that the Riddle family not only had no gratitude towards Selena, but also held a deep grudge against her.
Setting aside the incident with Hattie, Selena's relationship with the Riddle family was so weak that it was not even as strong as a piece of paper.
Hattie snorted, "Since there's no reason for her to help the Riddle family, why should we demand her assistance?"
The assistant begged for forgiveness, "I know I was wrong, Miss Hattie. I won't bring it up again..."
Hattie finally relented and sat down on the sofa next to Leon.
Leon rubbed her hair and asked, "Where did you go just now?"
Hattie looked down at her fingers and replied softly, "I went to my room to get a glass of water."
Leon gazed at she for a moment and said, "Don't wander around these few days."
Hattie sullenly replied, "I know, brother."
...
Manny lay in bed, her face wrapped in bandages. Her expression was calm, but her eyes were filled with resentment and madness.
